Description

Lead is an enemy type that prevents the enemy from being damaged by any tower that does not have lead detection.

Mechanics

Lead enemies cannot be damaged by any tower without lead detection, though despite what the detection name suggests, they can still be targeted by towers without it unless other attributes prevent the tower from doing so. Only towers with lead detection can damage them. By default, Splash Damage (except Paintballer), fire damage and collision damage all have lead detection. Some towers cannot damage lead enemies with all their attacks as only some of them have it, such as the Archer not being able to damage Lead enemies with its arrows, but still being able to damage them through its burn. These following towers have lead detection:
